Chapter 134: Luo Xiu
First update! Thanks for the support of "Scientist Little Newton" brothers! Thank you!

Chen Xiao!
Xie Zhan's loud laughter came to an abrupt halt as he saw Chen Tang walking out of the forest, his eyes widened in shock. "Damn it," he thought, "this is way too coincidental." How did he end up being transported with this jinx?
Chen Yao's current reputation in Longyuan City is simply unparalleled. He crossed the border and killed six Huangting monks from the Su family, a two-instrument golden elixir monk, and defeated Lin Shaoqi, an eight-layer purple mansion master, with one blow in the Gathering Immortals Building. Immediately after that, he also exterminated a genius who was cultivating the Purple Mansion's third layer of divine magic, and these brilliant military achievements had long been spread throughout every cultivator's ears in Longyuan City, becoming the hottest topic of conversation on the streets and alleys after dinner.
Seventeen years old.
Zifu Six Star Boundary.
Eight Handles Yellow Stage Top Grade Flying Sword.
The realm of martial arts cultivation with the Taoist meaning and boundary.
These data were dug up and spread by people with ulterior motives, making Chen Yao an overnight sensation among the younger generation, as well as a focal point of attention for various major powers. If not for thoroughly offending the Su family and falling out with the Xie family, he would have been wooed and won over by these major powers long ago.
Xie Zhan was furious and hated Chen Tang to the extreme, but at this moment, seeing Chen Tang appear in front of him, he still felt a wave of fear and unease.
Recalling that outside the Floating Pagoda's Trial Tower, it was precisely his own words that exposed Chen Xiao's identity, causing him to be exposed in plain sight. Xie Zhan couldn't help but feel a chill rising up from within, this retribution... came too quickly, didn't it?
These thoughts flashed through Xie Zhan's mind as he saw Chen Tang walking step by step towards him, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of fear in his heart. He shouted sternly: "Chen Tang, you've already promised my brother that we wouldn't interfere with each other. If you dare to make a move against me, don't blame the Xie family for treating you as an enemy from now on!"
At this moment, seeing Chen Tang appear, the four sons of the Xie family also gathered around Xie Zhan's side, their faces solemn and grave, as if facing a great enemy.
"This is the Floating Pagoda's trial tower, it's the Hidden Dragon Ranking's grand competition. If I don't knock all of you out, how can I enter the second layer, the Four Symbol Realm?"
As he spoke, Chen Yao's figure fluttered, and with a fierce cry, eight handles of Xu Ming flying swords burst into the air, accompanied by an unparalleled sword intent, shooting towards Wu Ren in a sudden explosion.
Here is the translation:
"This is the Floating Pagoda's trial tower, where cultivators are transported in every moment. Chen Xiao has now become a thorn in the eyes of most people, and to reach the end, he must fight quickly and decisively, ruthlessly killing everyone. Once someone is held back, they will definitely be discovered by other nearby cultivators and surrounded, making their situation precarious."
So Chen Yu took action, without any hesitation or delay, and with a swift and decisive motion, the eight handles of the Xuanming flying sword formed the first layer of the Yuanfeng Liuguang sword array, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air.
"Damn it! Xie Feng, Xie Heng, Xie Shan, Xie Chong, stop this guy!" Xie Zhan suddenly roared, and as he spoke, his body swayed, but instead of advancing forward, he violently retreated backward.
Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...
At the moment Chen Yao took action, the four brothers of the Xie family also reacted extremely quickly, without hesitation, and took out their flying swords, pinched the sword fingers, and struck the eight flying swords that were approaching them.
These four people are able to participate in the Dragon Hidden Ranking, and it is clear that they are all elite disciples of the Xie family. In fact, this is indeed the case. The ages of these four people are all around twenty years old, and their cultivation levels are all around the sixth star of the Purple Mansion. They can be considered young and promising, with unlimited prospects.
At this moment, the four of them joined forces, and their confidence greatly increased. They had already planned to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Chen Quan, and make a good impression in front of Young Master Xie Zhan. If they could get the generous reward from the Su family, that would be even better.
Unfortunately, their wishful thinking this time will come to nothing.
Rustle rustle...
Enough to annihilate ordinary Huangting cultivators, the first layer of the Wind Flowing Light Sword Array, under the combination of eight Xuanming flying swords, directly shattered the four flying swords of Xie Feng and his companions, and then, with undiminished momentum, swept towards the four people's heads.
"No good! This guy is too formidable!"
"The top-grade flying swords on the Yellow Stage were all shattered by him, this..."
"Withdraw! We are no match for him, continuing to fight will only lead to defeat!"
The flying sword was shattered, and the four people's minds were affected, their bodies shook violently, their faces turned deathly pale with extreme terror. Under the intense stimulation of seeking survival, the four people did not hesitate to burst the jade symbols in their hands.
Buzz!
Four strange and eerie sounds almost rang out at the same time, and then Xie Feng's four figures were instantly pulled into a black hole that suddenly appeared in the void, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Even Huang Ting's full-strength blow would be unbearable, these guys are really cunning and escaped faster than anyone else, unfortunately they didn't leave behind their command token."
Chen Yu thought to himself as he swiftly chased after Xie Zhan in the distance, "This guy has made me a target for everyone's arrows. If I don't kill him, I'm afraid that soon another group of young masters from the Xie family will come after me..."
Xie Zhan had already been frightened out of his wits, and compared to half a month ago when he saw Chen Yao, he clearly found that Chen Yao's current strength had obviously increased again, and was actually able to render his four clansmen completely helpless. What kind of terrifying cultivation was this?
"Damn it! How did I provoke such a jinx?! If my brother were here, that would be great......" Xie Zhan's intestines were about to turn green with regret, he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to escape for his life, he didn't dare look back, afraid that if he looked back, Chen Yu would catch up with him.
"Want to escape again?"
Along with a cold and calm voice, a figure suddenly appeared ten feet in front of him, surprisingly it was Chen Tai.
Xie Zhan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the escaping souls were frightened. He turned his head and flew towards the sky, frantically shouting in his heart: "As long as I can fly to mid-air, I'll definitely be seen by others. At that time, Chen Tai will not dare to chase me again..."
"Hmph!" Chen Xiao coldly snorted, directly using his hand to grab, the majestic true yuan transformed into a giant palm, tightly grasping Xie Zhan's body and pulling him back. Afterwards, a loud slap was fiercely slapped out, directly hitting Xie Zhan's face.
Bang!
Chen Yu's slap hit Xie Zhan, and with a "wa" sound, he was slapped to the ground, spitting out a big tooth and blood.
"Chen Tai! You, you actually dare to violate the agreement with my brother. Now you have thoroughly offended the Su family. Are you not afraid of offending the Xie family again?" Xie Zhan roared, his face twisted in anger. He didn't crush the jade token and escape because he couldn't bear to, as the Qianlong Ranking Competition had just begun, and being blown away by someone would be too humiliating if it got out.
"Is threatening me with these inferior things your only move?" Chen Xiao directly kicked him, stepping on Xie Zhan's face and pressing it hard against the ground. His mouth was muffled, unable to speak, and no matter how he tried to circulate his true yuan, it was all in vain.
"Look! That's Chen Yao!"
"Let's join hands and kill him first!"
"Right, kill him and we'll compete fairly again!"
In the distance, on one side of the great river, a dozen or so cultivators were transmitted again, seeing Chen Tang a hundred feet away, all with joyful expressions, shouting loudly and flying over to this side.
"It seems you're not planning to escape!" Chen Xiao's gaze swept the distance, his killing intent surging forth as he raised his hand and slapped it towards Xie Zhan's forehead. This palm strike was so powerful that even a rock would be reduced to dust if it landed.
Buzz!
Xie Zhan was extremely reluctant to crush the jade symbol, just as his body was about to be transferred by the void black hole. Chen Tai's palm suddenly changed and turned into a claw, pulling down Xie Zhan's storage waistband from his waist.
"Chen Tai, I won't let you off...". The voice stopped abruptly, and Xie Zhan had vanished.
Whoosh!
Chen Suo didn't have time to examine the storage bag in his hand, and with a whoosh, he vanished into the vast forest like a fleeting ray of light.
"Damn it, let this guy get away!"
"Rumors are indeed true, this kid's movement is as fast as lightning, wanting to kill him in the forest is simply impossible."
"It's true, there are too many places to hide in the forest, and this guy is too fast. If we chase him in, it'll be too dangerous."
……
Those dozen or so monks chased to the edge of the forest, all discussing reluctantly.
"Gentlemen, Chen Tai has escaped. Shouldn't we...?" Suddenly, a young man with a braid spoke up lazily. As he spoke, the foot-long green axe in his hand swung lightly and broke open the back of a monk in front of him, and bright red blood mixed with green and yellow sprayed out.
Kill this man, the young braid was ruthless, turned around and pounced, like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain. The green axe swept across, and three more monks were split in two by the sharp blade before they could react.
"Lu Xiu!"
"No way, this guy is Luo Xiu, that bloodthirsty demon from Star Rainbow Valley!"
The other monks saw the appearance of the young monk with a queue, and suddenly changed color, one by one like avoiding snakes and scorpions, flying away to all sides.
Hiss!
Lu Xiu didn't chase after him, instead sticking out his scarlet tongue to lick the bright red blood beads on his cheek, letting out a sigh of intoxication like a poisonous snake spitting its venom, his face completely drunk.
——
"How formidable! With one move, he forced the four elite sons of the Xie family to retreat. Chen Tao is indeed a ruthless man!"
"Mysterious Stage Wind Flowing Light Sword Array! I've seen this sword array in the Tianbao Building of Lanhai City, but it's incomplete, only having the cultivation methods for the first two stages. However...this is a Mysterious Stage Sword Array that only a Huangting cultivator can execute, how could he, a mere Zifu realm cultivator, possibly execute it?"
"Wow, this guy is really ruthless, slapping the young master of the Xie family's face with a loud smack, truly formidable!"
Outside the trial tower, more than half of the eyes were fixed on the battle between Chen Xiao and Xie Zhan, and suddenly it boiled over, buzzing with discussion.
On the jade platform, a middle-aged man wearing an embroidered golden silk black robe heard the surrounding discussions and remembered the scene he had just seen. His pair of thick eyebrows suddenly furrowed tightly, his face extremely gloomy, almost dripping with water.
He was Xie Kui, the master of the Xie family, one of the six major families in Longyuan. Xie Zhan was his youngest son. Seeing Chen Tai destroy and expel Xie Zhan and other young members of the Xie family like withered wood, how could Xie Kui have a good expression?
"Thanks, brother. That little Chen Su is too detestable, he doesn't take us seriously at all. Why don't our two families join forces and get rid of him together?" A voice transmission reached his ear, Xie Kui raised an eyebrow and saw the master of the Su family, Su Zhen Tian, smiling at himself.
Xie Kui's expression remained unchanged as he replied calmly, "The Hidden Dragon Ranking competition is a matter of victory and defeat in the military, it's normal for children to be inferior, they deserve to be eliminated."
Su Zhen Tian shook his head and stopped talking, he was originally just probing with an attitude of being okay either way, seeing Xie Kui not being moved, naturally wouldn't continue to bother him.
"He Lian, this disciple of Xing Hong Valley is really too despicable!" said Xing Yun, the leader of the Qing Hua Sect, her face as cold as frost. Among the people killed by Luo Xiuzhu earlier was a disciple of the Qing Hua Sect, and she couldn't help but be angry.
"The Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition is bound to have casualties, Luo Xiu's killings are decisive and he has both bravery and strategy. I think it's quite normal." He Lian Shui, the sect master of Xing Hong Valley, laughed loudly, his old face filled with a pleased expression.
He was indeed very proud, Luo Xiu was his extremely valued true disciple, at the age of nineteen, he had already reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion realm, and his martial arts cultivation had also grasped the way of the Tao. Moreover, having just returned from the bloody lands outside the city to cultivate, his actual combat experience had been honed to the extreme, with such a talented disciple, how could He Lian Shui not be proud?
He was even convinced that this time's Dragon List competition top ten must have a place for Luo Xiuzhu!
"Look, Lu Xiu is chasing after Chen Tai!" However, just at this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the crowd, interrupting He Lian Shui's train of thought, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
Lu Xiu, why did you have to chase Chen Tang relentlessly?
